This is the opening track of the 'Waiting in the Wings' album. Straightforward country boogie
https://soundcloud.com/tonycliffsongs/just-around-the-next-bend

Here's Donna's lyric:

Just Around the Next Bend
(Lyric © Donna Evans and Music © Tony Cliff 2018)

Verse 1
The gypsy life used to be my style
A record of a chequered past
Now I’m traveling my miracle mile
Searching for a love that lasts
I’ll ride on even when it’s rough
Won’t give in to old excuses
‘Cos I have got the right stuff
To be the man I choose

Chorus
I know she’s out there somewhere
The girl who’s waiting for me
She a vision the reason I’m living
Just around the next bend
Curves may bring surprises
I’m not the one to question why
I smile because good times begin
Just around the next bend

Verse 2
I’ve turned around, paid my dues
Bad times are fading away
I’m out cruising nothing to lose
Rollin’ down that blue highway
With my mind clear and straight
Ridin’ on a new found wave
Feeling free never too late
To find my new best babe

Chorus

It was great to use the excellent Brent Mason guitar playing on this track. I generated a few differnt versions and then used REAPER automation to bring sections in and out that fitted best in the song. This takes a little while of comparing but definitely pays off I think. Otherwise I added my own piano track, Trilian bass part and Shimmer, Shake, Strike

Very fun tune funkycornwall! I dig the overall vibe on this. The different elements really glue well together and the mix sounds wonderful. Great guitar tone and you nailed the vocals too. Well done!

Nice, we enjoyed it...the write, the performance and the production.

And, yep, comping up RT solos (and sometimes rhythm tracks) is often the only way to get "there."

Kudos y'all!!
